The Great Pretender

Buck Ram

Oh-oh, yes, I'm the great pretender
(Ooo-ooo-oooo)
Pretending that I'm doing well
(Ooo-ooo-oooo)
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell
Oh-oh, yes, I'm the great pretender
(Ooo-ooo-oooo)
Adrift in a world of my own
(Ooo-ooo-oooo)
I've played the game but to my real shame
You've left me to grieve all alone

Too real is this feeling of make-believe
(Ooo-ooo-oooo)
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...)

Yes! I'm thе great pretendеr
(Ooo-ooo-oooo)
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
(Ooo-ooo-oooo)
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
(Ooo-ooo-oooo)

Too real is this feeling of make-believe
(Ooo-ooo-oooo)
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...)
Yes! I'm the great pretender
(Ooo-ooo-oooo)
Just laughin' and gay like a clown

(Ooo-ooo-oooo)
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
(Still around)
